The Dream Curse/ Adam and Eve Continues....
I found Set 8 to be entertaining in many ways. If you enjoy the storyline that is started towards the middle of Set 7, you should definetly get this Set. Watching each character have the Dream Curse was truly great. I do admit there are some boring parts, such as Adam learning how to talk to interact, but if you are a true Dark Shadows fan, you should purchase this Set. Victoria Winter's only has three more Sets until she leaves.

Barnabas, Cassandra, Adam, and the dream curse make for a busy and scary 40 episodes
Eights sets in, and these "Dark Shadows" episodes a still a lot of fun. In addition, they're now fun for all the right reasons, as 85% of the flubbed lines and messed-up camera shots are now gone. There's still the occasional chuckle-inducing missed line or crazy camera shot, but these mostly polished shows (I guess practice makes perfect) now allow you to get truly immersed in the tragic tale of Barnabas and the witch Cassandra, and all the various supporting characters. And we haven't even gotten to Quentin Collins, the "evil hand" storyline, and all the other great stuff I remember seeing as a kid. So, yes, I'm still onboard for the rest of these sets.

I only hope that when all these sets are out, they'll finally release the first 200 or so Barnabas-less episodes of the series. They can package them all in one set and call it "Dark Shadows Collection Zero". That way it'll fit nicely just to the left of Collection One on my shelf.

Dark Shadows 8
The video was in great shape and came very quickly. The Dark Shadows series is very entertaining.
